Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Position Relative Audio Feedback When Using Graphical
User Interface
Controls

Disclosed is an
improvement to computer operating system
usability through the use of audio feedback based on the current
position of a graphical user interface control such as but not
limited to:
(a) sliders
(b) knobs / wheels
(c) spinners / spin boxes
(d) checkboxes
(e) selection / choice / list boxes
(f) text entry fields
(g) radio buttons
(h) menu bars

As the graphical
user interface control is manipulated by a
user, an audio sound (digitized audio) or audio tone / frequency (or
multiple combined frequencies) can be generated, audibly providing
positional relative feedback to the user of the control within the
context or range of the control being manipulated. For example, a
computer system could represent its current audio volume level by
presenting an graphical user interface audio control knob or wheel to
the user. Using this knob, the user can
adjust the audio output
volume of the system. As the knob is
adjusted by the user, the
system could emit a digitized audio sound that will increase in
volume or decibels as the knob moved in a direction that should
produce higher volume. Alternatively, as
the knob is adjusted by the
user towards a lower level of volume or decibels, the system could
emit a digitized audio sound that will decrease in volume. The sound
that is emitted can be continuous, or discrete as the application
requires. The sound can change in
frequency according to how the
control is being manipulated - ascending frequency or volume
(decibels) as the control is being adjusted towards the end of its
total range, and descending frequency or volume (decibels) as the
control is...
